Re: [Cooker] Very bad cooker install
Another thing that might worth mentioning:
On another machine, with a simple PS/2 mouse
if I choose Hungarian for installation language,
I cannot even select PS/2. It says in Hungarian that
"an error occured | cannot find standrad PS/2 mouse"
("raw" translation ;^)
If I select english, all is fine, however..strange...

Well, yes if I select the wrong mouse type (protocoll), the cursor stays confined in the top-right corner... You can only escape with a hard-reboot, or switching to the console :( This is however probably not related to the "jumpyness-problem" that occurs when you change from ps/2 to imps/2... p00h
Re: [Cooker] REALLY need a nongui MandrakeUpdate
What I'm still missing is something like debconf, so that I can configure the packages just as I install them. This would be really, really nice...:-) Would that be possible? p00h

Well, it happens to me as well. I have an A4Tech 4D mouse (yes it's a "wheel-mouse"), that speaks the IMPS/2 protocoll to the X server. It's really jumpy for some time, but if you move it carefully for a short period and then use the wheel, all returns to normal p00h
[Cooker] xalf & LD_PRELOAD problem
Xalf alters LD_PRELOAD so that it'll contain libxalf. The absolute path is not set, however. If you start a gnome-terminal -or whatever -, even the simplest things - like su ;) - won't start, saying that it cannot locate libxalf If you do an "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libxalfxx", things work right. However, I don't think that hackin' around .bashrc and .cshrc is the proper way to handle this. Where on earth can I change that _globally_, please? p00h
